Specialized components designed for pressure washers enable low-pressure application of cleaning solutions. These components facilitate the gentler removal of organic growth, stains, and dirt from surfaces without the damaging effects of high-pressure washing. An example is a nozzle with a wide fan pattern and a large orifice, which reduces the impact force of the water stream.
The employment of these nozzles preserves fragile surfaces, such as siding, roofing, and painted areas, extending their lifespan and maintaining aesthetic appeal. Historically, aggressive high-pressure methods risked damage; these gentler application methods mitigate that risk. The controlled application of cleaning agents also enhances their effectiveness, requiring less water and reducing chemical usage.
